[fat controller]

That is probably because all of a sudden there have been a number of hits looking at the item - Amazon's systems detect the number of views that an item has had and if there is a spike in views, the price usually goes up in the belief that there is a sudden demand or lack of supply. Leave the link alone for a couple of weeks, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you don't get an email offering you a lower price again.

[Richie1P]

Bullet was bitten, purchased last week and they arrived this morning. Fitting took about an hour and was pretty straight forward. They look much better than the halogen clusters when they're not even lit up. I went for the red/black style, and really glad i did, I think the red/clear clusters looked too light. They don't look too far off OEM for the money. There's a lot of hate for these, but personally I think they're much better than the halogens, they might not be as good as OEM LEDs, but for a quarter of the price they look fine, certainly don't look cheap and naff!

Unless I'm missing something, I see no difference apart from one says 07 onwards which I'm guessing could be as the B8 maybe began production for Germany before the Uk?

After all the research I've done, alot of people say that they're made by FK Automotive. The manufacturers stamp is DEPO. Not FK.
£205 from the FK website and free p&p. Took an hour to fit, no error codes on dash.
Hope this helps some people take the plunge! The only quibble is that the brakes dont light the entire ring, just the outer tails. This is a small price to pay. My local audi dealer wanted £980 to supply and fit!!

Can't check my car just now but are you sure the breaks didn't always only just operate in the outer tails? Can anyone confirm this?

The original halogens only light up on the outer tails.

OEM LEDs light up the entire ring. As my LEDs are aftermarket, they only light up on the outers under braking. I'm pretty sure this is correct.

i was under the impression the limousine was the avant model, and he sedanusine was the saloon. Otherwise not sure why they sell the same lights on the website under two different models for the B8. Deffo worth a check with FK.

[Richie1P]

Just to clarify - I have the B8 saloon and ordered the Sedanusine lights, which I fitted as per the pics.

[gdallas]

ye must be two defintions, as my ticket defo says lim, and if you wiki it, you'll see. just translate. Audi A4 B8 – Wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A4_B8)

[gdallas]

and looks like dave from audi enthusiast has some VCDS witch craft up his sleeve to alter code the lights, wether this applies to aftermarket, I dont know, but im staying tuned Audi A4 B8 NA To ROW LED Lights - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD8Es1-s7Rk)

[Guest 2]

^ they're OEM

USA has a different layout for braking and blinkers hence the differences in the video.

OEM LEDs in the UK can be made to behave like this, I doubt aftermarket will as I'm sure they wouldn't of been manufactured to incorporate with the CAN network.

Looks like LED's are finally available for Avants:

Not really close to OEM style though. If the build quality is good and they don't throw errors they might be ok. They're also available on ebay UK, though the seller is in Romania.

[gdallas]

well i done it!! looks like my right side is throwing a fault when wack it in reverse, it also doesn't illuminate reverse in reverse on right. ive not investigated yet. some pics for your info. all i can say is it looks waaaaaaay better in real life, camera doesnt nearly capture how sexy this is.... awesome:biglaugh:

some more from twilight. the lights flicker when viewing through the camera, so depending when i press the bottom, it looks like not all leds are on, but they actually are.

[jabicho]

Well; I can see two very big flaws on these replica led tail lights as compared to OEM.If you look at the pics closely, the halogen fog light is dimmed as parking light together with the leds...strange mixture of halogen and led for a "LED" tail light.Besides, only the outer light brakes...not very OEM Audi looking at all.Nevertheless, vagcom is the word...

[gdallas]

I believe you may be misinterpreting this. I got my mate to put reverse light on as i have problem with the right side harness (loose) and this occured during a breaking action. could this be what your seeing?

[gdallas]

Actually, I went out and had another look, I see what your saying now. Looks OK to me though.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

[gdallas]

Confused!!
You will see my email to FK automotive regarding the loose connection in the harness. Im not sure if they are missunderstaindg me, probably didnt even watch the video, but you can clearly see that its the harness thats dodgy!
But now im concerned that i have bought LHD instead of RHD, what the hell is the difference as they appear to function as expected!!


My Email to them:
Hi, regarding my e Shop Order number: xxxxxx, I would like to make you aware of a fault with one of the light clusters you sent, and look forward to your resolution.

I’ve attached two videos of the issue, there appears to be a loose wire in one of the harness. and my reverse light doesn’t come on due to this and throws a fault in car.

Please advise how we resolve this. Thanks

Their response:

This will be because the rear lights are all LHD and as you did not use the RHD section in UK shop where you ordered the lights there is not much i can do for you.
You can return the lights to be checked to us but if you need refund it will only be for the lights not the shipping cost.

[gdallas]

i responded with the following, can anyone see where (if) i went wrong at time of purchase???

I fear you may have misunderstood me, perhaps I didn’t adequately explain myself. For clarification, the passenger side reverse light always comes on as expected, and If you watch the video, you will see the reverse bulb illuminate on the drivers side as expected when I manipulate the harness, there appears to be a fault with the harness.
I’m also interested to understand why you think I have purchased LHD, as there was no indication at any time, at time of purchase that this product, which is for sale in the UK, would be LHD. I have attached screen shots can you please indicate at which point I failed to select RHD option, as you suggest.
Also, please advised what the functional difference is between the alleged LHD, and RHD lights sets, as other than this minor fault, the lights appear to behave as expected.
Again, I look forward to your resolution, which i suspect will consist of you sending me out a new harness of.
Many thanks2082420825

[gdallas]

Well what a load of crap! I advise you to stay clear of FK automotive. Their CS stinks, and have just been advised there are no RHD versions of this product, therefore everyone who has bought one here i presume you have LHD. Raging! I’m phoning RBS to ask for payment reversal as im damned if I will be paying for return carriage.

We do not have this item in RHD that is why it was not in RHD section of shop.
You will be sent return slip and once these lights are here they will be checked.

appranetly i made the mistake!! ye right. and you all do have LHD lights in this forum, not sure if it really makes a big differnece. My fogs come on both sides anyway! cant think of anyother reason??

"We have no RHD verson of this light as none are made from supplier. If i send you retunr slip lights will be checked and new pair sent out underwarrenty if you send lights back as you made mistake when ordering there will be refunded please advise. "

well so far mine have been ok too! one dodgy harness that hasnt gave me any issues since i jammed the cable into postion. leds look ok i guess. better than non led oem, nut not as good as LED OEM. to summarise, id defo buy again, more so at that new price.

[trance]

Nice gdallas!. Is that a black tinted rear cluster?

[gdallas]

ye mate :-)

[neebsta]

Anyone got pics of them fitted to an Avant?

[Boy]

i wonder if someone can advise whether the LED rear lights from a 2013 Sline facelift saloon will fit my 2008 Sline saloon and if so, whether i would need any additional parts to convert from my standard lights to these LEDs? Thanks for any help you can give.

[hsmithboy30]

hi matethe facelift has a different boot lid so you will need that and there are adaptors to plug into your existing wiring looms into the LED lights. Then they will need coding by a dealership

[Boy]

Thanks for that information. Although I shall be contacting the dealer soon about corrosion arround the edge of the rear light cluster on the boot lid, I don't suppose they will offer a facelift bootlid!:D

[113brucey]

no the will repair it and respray most of boot and refit new badges ??

[hollow]

113 brucey . any chance you could do me a favour ? im I need of a little info on these lights , im looking for a replacement fog lamp bulb . got a set of these for literally pennies but they do not have the fog lamp bulbs fitted , there seems to be an adapter missing from the bulb holder , could you possibly undo one of the inner light ,bulb holders and take a picture of the fog lamp bulb and fitting .Icant find a standard 21watt bulb that fits the holder but is slim enough to go into the the actual lens ,as the hole in the lens is only 15mm wide .

[113brucey]

I will have alook when I have time try the company that make these they may have spares

Definitely considering these on payday, just under £200 for plug and play, cant argue with that.

[Richie1P]

A while ago I posted pics with the rear led's fitted, like someone else has noticed, the rear halogen fogs are illuminated, albeit dim. When I turn the fogs on, they light up to full brightness. My question is, any suggestions on how to keep them off until I use them as fog lights? I've considered removing the bulbs, however this would throw a dash error, not to mention the danger of not having a fog light, so that idea is a big no!

[Boy]

I ordered a set of these at the end of August 2013. I have had repeated notifications from the sellers that they have no stock and await delivery of new stock. They offered a full refund, but I am presently waiting in the hope that stock will be delivered in February.
You may like to check availability before ordering.

Just spoken with FK automotive, the fog light illuminating is 100% because they are LHD lights, unfortunately they cant give a solution.

However, they did say, they will be stocking RHD versions within the next couple of months..

Got a reply from FK this morning following my question about whether the ones in stock for £200.00 were RHD or LHD...


"these are for LHD spec but as LED they might be ok for UK roads..
You will have to check to see if the reverse and fog light are different with your local dealer.. "

Need to check if the eBay ones are RHD.

I'm smelling bulls' hit a little here...


Anyone worked out if u can disable the dimmed fog that's always on when dipped lights are active yet? ?
Short answer:
Yes. You will require your J519 module (09 Cent. Elect.) coding.

Long answer (for the more tech savvy):
OEM Filaments. The rear light cluster comprises of 3x21W filament lamps:

Outer - in body
Middle & Inner - in tailgate.

The lamps are either run at full power (21W) or are Pulse Width Modulated (PWM control) down to an equivalent brightness of 5W.

Sidelights off:
Brake on - Outer @ 21W

Sidelights on:
Outer, Middle & Inner @ 5W

Sidelights on:
Brake on - Outer @ 21W, Middle & Inner @ 5W

Sidelights on:
Foglight on - Outer & Middle @ 5W, Inner @ 21W

Sidelights on:
Brake & Foglight on: Outer & Inner @21W, Middle @ 5W.

OK. These aftermarket LED lights are wired as follows:
LED Outer Ring - to Outer lamp as described above.
LED Inner Ring - to Middle lamp as described above.
Foglamp - to Foglamp as described above.

If you've managed to keep up this far, you will see why things work the way they are. The 21W for the brake will only ever go to the Outer (this is why you don't see the entire ring get brighter as in OEM) and when the sidelights are on, the fog in the LED cluster receives a constant 5W; hence it glows dimly.

This can all be sorted out with coding and adaptation of the J519 module. I don't have the codes to hand at the moment. However, don't just copy the coding from a car that has OEM LEDs. This is because the J519 knows they are in fact LEDs and reduces the power to the cluster accordingly.

Please also bear in mind that the aftermarket ones are using parallel shunt resistors to fool J519 that a 21W filament lamp is there; to prevent a 'blown bulb' indication on the dash. As a result, if the LED string really does fail, on OEM you will get the warning but with aftermarket you will not. So don't look smug if plod pulls you over saying you've got no rear lights and you say, 'Naaah, the dash would have told me if they were out'.

[cyberstretch]

Would the coding allow to have the inner LEDs to work as a brake light too or maybe is it possible to bridge the brake light signal over from the outer to the inners ? Maybe a silly question but thought I would ask ;)

think ya baffled us with science, myself at least - But you definetely know your stuff. I guess here is hoping someone understands it and can correct the fog light issue..

[gdallas]

Do something for me. Try those codes I posted in a previous post. The audi tail lights behave in exactly the same fashion as the fakey ones before they are coded.im intrigued to see you if it works for you. My bet is it will. It's easy to do if u have a vcds. Report back

Hopefully you can make sense if that. It's pretty self explanatory once you get there. I needed a mix of both setup codes. Some are repeated you will notice so forget them. Note the ones you changed, Park somewhere you can see you're lights reflection it happens instantly once it accepts the code.
Coding is done from within 46-Central Conv. - Adaptation; but you'll need to enter the security access code first. The code is 16017

[Au07]

If it's done in 09 cent elec then all channels not available for me... I typed security code and nothing.. Any long coding to be done with this?

[gdallas]

Read my my last post mate. Module 46. Heading to bed now. Good luck

[Au07]

Worked as charm.... :biglaugh:
Happy as f***:approve:
thanks!

[gdallas]

Glad it worked mate. Thought it might. Got the full ring and that too when u break?

[hsmithboy30]

I have bought a set of B8 saloon OEM LED tail lights used off ebay. I have also ordered the kufatec adaptor. Can i use the same coding previously mentioned on the post to code the genuine lights to my car?
thanks in advance

[gdallas]

Absolutely... Enjoy 😀

[Boy]

I fitted a S/H set of OEM tail lights to my B8 Saloon this morning and coded using the guide kindly posted by GDallas earlier in this thread, but he noted when he posted, that one code 204 was missing.
Whether for that reason or otherwise, I have reversing light problems now and get a warning light concerning both, when I engage reverse. Also, I believe the reversing lights come on
with the brakes.
Can anyone supply the missing code(s) please? Thanks.

[gdallas]

Hi, mine work perfectly. Try going through again and checking. Do one at at time and see which one gives the problem

[Boy]

Thanks for responding. Does this mean that you don't after all think code 204 needs to be changed?

[gdallas]

Nah I couldn't have as there is no code... My lights were the retrofit kit thing including harness. Is it possible your harness isn't correct?

[Boy]

I bought one of the kits from ebay for the conversion.
Perhaps someone with OEM lights fitted and working can check the codes for me?

[gdallas]

No yours will be the same as mine then.. Put it all back to default and change and check each coding one by one.

[Boy]

I already checked the coding.
I'd better check the connections next.

[Boy]

I went round all of the new connections and all seemed fine.
Then, although there had been no suggestion that the connection leads in the kit were handed,
I tried swapping over the inner leads and all suddenly was fine, except that I am left with the dim foglight syndrome mentioned earlier in this thread.
I have not had a chance to scan since swapping the leads, but have no warning lights.
Any suggestions for removing the dimly lit foglight?

[gdallas]

Good stuff. The dimmed lighters definitely covered by one of those codes as mjne behaved like that before I coded

[Boy]

Since I have input all of those codes already, I am tempted to try swapping over the outer leads next, in case that is the problem, but I seriously doubt it.

[hsmithboy30]

Did you resolve the issue? I will be fitting my led tail lights very soon

[Boy]

I tried swapping over the leads for the outer lights with no effect, so the answer is No, and I still have the dim foglight syndrome
which I am keen to resolve.
I shall be interested to hear how you get on and whether you are left in a similar position.
Are you fitting OEM s/h lights? if so, have you also bought the ebay £50 lead conversion kit?
The instruction sheet which came with mine was complete incomprehensible goggledegook, but other than the fact that the outer leads are handed,
and unless there is some hidden instruction for losing the dim foglight, you don't need instructions other than
the coding instructions earlier in this thread.

[gdallas]

Does your car have the j393 convenience module?

[Boy]

GD, I can't look to see if my car has that module till I return from Scotland after Easter.
I'll take look then and let you know. You reckon there might be a difference which accounts for
my persistent foglamp glow?

[gdallas]

The module is located in the right compartment in the boot from memory. It was just an idea was all, I believe this convenience module is require for led tails, I also don't believe all cars have them as standard. But someone could probably correct me on this. Regards your fog issue. My fog was on but dimmed before I coded too. So not really sure of the logic there. I honestly can't think what else would be causing your lights not to be coded correctly other than this module possibly

[Boy]

I think I sussed the problem I had with this coding. I had input the codes from the list at the top of the post and now realised that the
list below is different (last two codes). Now I've corrected the coding, I think that all is well. Certainly the dimly lit fog lamp has gone:o.
Should the side lights light up in the inner light ring as well as the outer, or is the inner just for the brake lights?

[gdallas]

Glad to hear it mate

[Boy]

In my last post I asked if the side lights should show in inner and outer rings, and since then have checked back to confirm that they should. Unfortunately, since fixing the fog light dimly lit issue, my rear side lights show only in the outer ring.
I have checked all the codes against the post in this thread but no joy.
Has anyone else an other source of these codes and can check them for me please. Strangely, when the foglight was dimly lit, both outer and inner rings were lit!

[Boy]

I still have this strange problem of the outer ring of side lights only being lit.
I checked my codes and the one which seems wrong is 188, which gives a value of 1
and will not accept any other value.
Should the value be 1638 as per GD's earlier post, and if so, can anyone suggest a reason why I
am unable to persuade my car to accept that code?
I checked in my rear o/s cubby hole in the boot and there is a module there labelled EPB ECU. Is that the comfort module?
It is flat, just forward of the fuse board.

[Boy]

I have sorted this problem now. Many thanks to BigRab who assisted with provision of the codes which he had used.
For the avoidance of doubt, the code for channel 188 should indeed be 1 and 189 should be 16383.

[hsmithboy30]

Just fitted oem led tail lights and the codes work perfectly. Really happy makes a huge difference :beerchug:

[Boy]

Well done. They are good aren't they!

You have not done any coding yet? If so its probably coding, but you may need both! No idea about what cables/adapters you had!!!

[Diamond-mine]

Thanks for responding quickly. Adaptor cable was from Germany to retrofit new lights. Have had coding done but with no luck. Also have VCDS myself now and have tried several codings but can not get brake away from sidelight or get anything on separate LED bank.

Could you post the link of cabels you have? Without "bridges" between inner and outer you cant have all needed functions! Did cabels came with coding or not? Its hard to help if we cant see your adapter/cable settings.

000 ... (http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/fl-rueckleuchtenumbau-geschafft-t3793965.html?page=3#post31896667)

I still have not understood 100% differents between uk and german tail functions if there is! With US all clear.

Can you email me the instructions you had gunnark100@gmail.com, i will have look into this at the evening. Very strange that people who provided cable/adapter set did not provide any coding as this all depends of the wiring- and absolutely no idea yet!

[Diamond-mine]

Thanks, Will e-mail tonight as instructions are at home. Just to clarify they didn't come with codes just where to link/solder wires. Cheers

Yes i read this on ebay.

You can try and play with this codes:

channel 181 0 or 64608 or 65535

As your wiring is probably different the adaption channels are different. Best to have usb extension few meters, to be with your computer in back and other pushing brake if needed, change all channels to 0 and start testing which channel in your case is for which function(clear faults frequently). Its all good if your set has proper bridges.

Hi all, I have repaired the car front of my 2011 Audi A4 Allroad 2.0TDi so I invested a bit more and upgraded to the new facelift version (from B8 to B8.5, replaced headlights, bonnet, both wings, bumper and front panel).
I have chosen both new xenon headlights and new LED taillights as pictures.
Still have to connect both and I am concerned if I would have to re-code for both lights?
Thanks

Not fully sure about the headlights...but rear lights 100% needs modified harness and coding.

Thanks for the help. The headlight connectors don't match the car (as picture) and I can't find the adapter for these... I have asked Kufatec but they said they couldn't help.

Don't mean to be a PITA, but is there a definitive listing of coding changes required to retrofit genuine Audi LED tail lights to a saloon car, appreciate it can depend on wiring adapter configuration. Have followed GDallas list on earlier page, but seems to be anomalies in numbers between first and second list ? Just purchased VCDS cable so hoping it's just that I'm not too thick to understand this :confused:

[Gunnark100]

Looks like adapters you need by the shape are a bit like for q7 by the picture:

Grey one should go into the new one!

No wrong info sorry:)...but selling guy may know answer or some a4 member who done this retrofit.

did you have xenons originally?

[Ruben Gomes]

No, it came with standard halogen

[Guest 2]

So you need a halogen to xenon adapter instead of pre-facelift to facelift adapter.

Kufatec do sell these.

Yes looks like FL has the same socket as pre-FL xenon, no idea about the pinout. Still may need new J519 module aswell + new wires to this. Same retrofit wiring wise as halogen to xenon.

I think so Chris, I just don't know if the new facelift xenon headlight connector is the same as the pre-facelift one... meaning this would that adaptor connect in both models (image)?

I have just had the facelift LED rear lights fitted to my 2011 Allroad. £360 supplied and fitted at Leeds Retrofits. They put 2 wires from the rear outer lights to the inner lights because the brake and indicator are on both then changed the connectors. They wiped the Epsom in my BCM and loaded a later firmware on then coded in. All working and look great.

I have read on another forum about an Audi A5 xenon retrofit problem which a new J519 module serie D solved...
Would anyone recommend a good Audi specialist to solve this issue near greater London?
Thanks

[Ruben Gomes]

Great deal looks great. If I hadn't bought mine already would go there.

Sorry for mixing headlight problems on this thread but:)

First find out what suffix module j519 you have...if it supports Byte 0: From 69 → 26 = change from halogen to xenon bulbs
Then you may be good to proceed.

Regarding headlights questions you can move here:
